Using Opengl with Dev C++

[Anonymous]

First of all Hi evryone! Newbie on Deck so please be patient with me if my questions seem a little dum.
I have just entered into the programming world and am looking to develop my own games as I have been modeling and animating with 3d studio max 4.2 for quite some time now.
Problem 1: I can't seem to link dev to the opengl lib files ie, opengl32.lib & glut32.lib

Help please!!!!!!!!!

no problem:

In your project linker options:

-lopengl32 -lglu32 -lglut32

Should do the trick, with the Directory settings pointing to the relevant location. Just as a note use the glutXXXX routines to initialize the window and display it makes it more portable. If you still have trouble just reply to this post describing the error messages.

i ve done that.
but if i start the .exe i got the Messagebox :
... missing Export-GLUT32.DLL:__glutCreateMenuWithExit

My System: Win 98

Hmmm dunno, I'm new to openGL too, I have trouble calling the same function in my code, but maybe you could rebuild the library interface:

1) impdef glut32.dll > glut32.def
2) dlltool --dllname glut32.dll --def glut32.def --output-lib glut32.a -k

My GL init routine looks a little like this:

main...

  glutInit(&argc, argv); 
  glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_ALPHA | GLUT_DEPTH); 
  glutInitWindowSize(800, 600); 
  glutInitWindowPosition(0, 0); 
  winId = glutCreateWindow("test"); 
  glutDisplayFunc(&glCallback);  // callback draw routine
  glutFullScreen();
  glutIdleFunc(&glCallback);
  glutReshapeFunc(&glResizeCallback);
  glutKeyboardFunc(&glKeyboardCallback);  // keyboard callback...
  InitGL(800, 600);
  glutMainLoop();
